One of ISP's which serves this town uses usernames of the form
'yebo/12345678&yebo'. They use PAP password authentication.

They say that they cannot offer any support to Linux users.

My problem is this: How can I get this username through the chat script.
If I include the username either as a literal or as a shell variable the
script fails to complete. (Both succeed with other 'normal' usernames).
I presume the chat script is interpreting the '/' symbol. 

What is going on and how can I solve this problem?
